Just received this case today.

Initial thoughts: Good protection but bulky.

Fairly easy to install, place silicon skin over device and then plastic case over that.

Only issues with install are getting the port covers into the right position. They seem to get stuck under the plastic. Once you work them out, they open and close easily.

Covers for headphone jack, microUSB jack, and uSD card slot. (I like the access to the uSD card slot without removing the case!)

Easy to activate power and volume controls.

Dimensions:

Nook Color

127.5 mm wide

205 mm tall

11 mm thick

With Trident Aegis case:

137.5 mm wide

212 mm tall

18 mm thick

It adds a considerable size to the device, 10 mm in width is noticeable, and more than 50% in thickness.

To those of you who are used to using the NC with no cover, it will be a bit of an adjustment. I don't think it is anything more than any other case however.

With the Trident Aegis case, it still fits in my Belkin Kindle 2 Neoprene case (just barely)

http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Neoprene-Kindle-Display-Generation/dp/B001NPDA44

It comes with a screen protector and display cleaning cloth. (I did not use the screen protector, as I have the B&N Anti Glare)

Plastic cover has a satin finish like the back of the Nook Color, not glossy. Comfortable to hold and not slippery.

The raised silicon logo that comes through the hole in the back gives it some friction to keep it from slipping on a hard surface.

Silicon is a bit of a dust magnet.

Thanks for this -- I ordered the same case and should be receiving it soon. Also used the same discount code.

Is it fairly easy to get the sdcard out through that hatch?

Hopefully I can get used to the added bulk.

Edit: I guess your 2nd set of pics answered my question.
[Nook Color Accessories] colorado_al:
You can open the case cover and the uSD card cover is easy to get to. You can also bend the other side of the cover out of the way.
[Nook Color Accessories] smuook:
I just received my Trident Aegis. I like it alot. It is well executed and I will not be looking for another case. It feels very secure and good in your hand. I'm sure the Otterbox will be nice as well, but this case doesn't disappoint.
[Nook Color Accessories] britoso:
It doesn't look like it has a kickstand, any way to make it stand up with this case?
[Nook Color Accessories] smuook:
It doesn't have a kickstand. Of that is important to you, I wouldn't buy this case.
[Nook Color Accessories] funcrusher:
Got mine today and must say that I love it!
[Nook Color Accessories] spamolamo:
received mine on Friday, seems like a winner to me! Easy to install, fits well, I like it.
[Nook Color Accessories] mattymo:
I've had this case for about a week and I love it. I'm confident that my Nook Color is very well protected, and I can't see myself ever needing another case.
[Nook Color Accessories] bugggie1:
Got this case as well. Pretty good except for some minor issues:

-headphone port cover a little hard to get out. I gotta use fingernails. The micro usb port is fine.

-the silicon on the long sides of the nc isn't flush with the screen. It bulges out slightly.

-sd card cover not flush and doesn't stay down

-screen cover is around 2mm short.

I'm fine with most of the issues except for the sd card cover. Anyone else run into the same issue with it not staying down?
[Nook Color Accessories] colorado_al:
No problem here with the sd card cover (it is a bit loose but stays in place), headphone port cover easy to remove. No problem with silicon being flush. Maybe you got one that isn't quite right. Have you tried reinstalling it to see if it seats better?
[Nook Color Accessories] smuook:
I don't think you got it on quite right. I have none of the problems you are describing. I'd try to reinstall. I'm not using their screen cover so I don't know about that.
[Nook Color Accessories] ax0r:
Received mine today, really happy with the quality. Everything fits flush and nothing is loose. Only complaint is that it makes my NC very heavy. its a bulky case

EDIT: Just took mine off because i saw my screen protector was lifting on the top corner because the case was pushing on the plastic up against the screen. I reseated the case on my NC and to my surprise it does not sit flush anymore.. having a similar issue to the posted that complained about it not being flush against the screen. It is lifted on all 4 sides now. It seems the silicone stretches once removed.
[Nook Color Accessories] tj!2k7:
For anyone interested in this case, the discount code from the OP expired 3/31, but code "AEGIS20" worked for me for a 20% discount earlier today.
[Nook Color Accessories] tj!2k7:
Ordered on Friday from OP's link, received it yesterday. CA to NY over the weekend... quick shipping is always a plus. =)

Definitely loving this case; I had a silicone skin on the NC before switching to this. The original silicone cover was ok as far as not getting it scratched up and scuffed, but I never really felt like it was truly protected. Not like I'm going to start tossing the Nook around like a football, but this case is a completely different story as far as protection is concerned.

The molded plastic shell provides additional firmness and stability, with much less creaking coming from the nook, and the thicker rubber bumpers provide adequate protection for all four corners. The button areas in the silicone are very well defined and make the buttons very easy to press.

Also I'm very pleased with the USB and headphone jack covers protecting those ports when not in use, and the SD cover on the back stays closed -- although I can see how that might be troublesome for those who have complained of problems with it.

As far as weight is concerned, it really doesn't feel much heavier than the silicone. Size-wise, it's a wee bit larger but nothing unmanageable, and it still fits in the Rocketfish neoprene sleeve.

I obviously haven't had it for long, but so far this made for an excellent purchase, and I think it kinda gives the nook a tactical look/feel. =)

Trident dispatched mine today for review purposes :) free stuff ftw!

Ill post my video review when it arrives as I know some people prefer that to images :)
[Nook Color Accessories] Shortyred:
Got my case and I like it. Good feel to it everything works fine on mine.
[Nook Color Accessories] swalk20:
Anyone know if the trident NC case will fit a Nook HD+?
[Nook Color Accessories] leapinlar:
The HD+ dimensions are much larger than a NC. It should not fit.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.

Hey guys,

Last night I went to Gdgt Live in Austin and Incipio was there. I asked them if they're going to release feather cases for the Nexus S and they said that they'll come out within the next two weeks! This could be a viable substitute for the barely there case since they're almost the exact same thing. I have the feather case for my Zune HD and I <3 it!
[Nexus S Accessories] kenvan19:
Do you plan on getting it? If so mind posting pictures and a little write up?
[Nexus S Accessories] Vulpix:
I have an Incipio case for my iPad, and I love it. Let's hope Incipio can come up with a good quality one for our phone.
[Nexus S Accessories] timchoi89:
If it comes out before the barely there case then yes. Oh and I forgot to add one more thing, they told me that the price should be $19.99 for it.
[Nexus S Accessories] sherifone:
oh no i just ordered the casemate pop case lol :(

i much prefer incipio feather cases, ive always purchased them for all my phones
[Nexus S Accessories] Five0nIt:
I like the feather cases but I think ill wait for an otterbox.
[Nexus S Accessories] kenvan19:
That's a great price IMO. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
[Nexus S Accessories] michahwee:
Incipio Feather for Nexus S is out!
[Nexus S Accessories] 5noc:
$24.99, I want 2 but that + the international shipping hurts my wallet, I hope the quality is what the price says :p
[Nexus S Accessories] bdgiese90:
I cant imagine spending more than a couple bucks on a case honestly. But to each his own. I also treat my phone like my first born son lol

[Nexus S Accessories] zirra:
I love the screen protectors that is comes with their cases. Ill pick one up if it's included.
[Nexus S Accessories] DerSeppel:
I'm currently considering to buy a feather case. Anyone with experience regarding these cases? What about dust etc. getting under the case and scratching the phone?

Video: Incipio Feather for Nexus S First Look

Hi guys,

I'm here with another video overview for you all! I got my hands on the Incipio Feather and just wanted to share my thoughts and show off the case to those of you wondering how it fits/looks and whether or not you should buy it. All information is on the video below:

Thanks,

Gianpy
[Nexus S Accessories] DKYang:
Good video. I'm curious if that case is basically the same as the cheap ones from China on ebay. It really looks like it from watching the video.
[Nexus S Accessories] Ploone:
I've tried one that I believe you're talking about, it is another thin polycarbonate case. Couple of things I noticed that are different:

1- Feather has 1 large cutout for camera/flash, the one I tried had separate cutouts

2- Feather's inside is soft touch, the one I tried had a glossy inside and soft touch backing

3- Fit on the eBay ones is not as tight (which worries me, since I feel dust/debris can get in and scratch backing)

Other than that they are very similar
[Nexus S Accessories] dinan:
Thanks for the video. If I were to get any case I suppose this would be it because I hate bulk, but that price is a bit too high... and no screen protector either, lame lol.
[Nexus S Accessories] lazyn00b:
Love it!

I ordered mine (Fedex!) a few minutes after they posted it on the Incipio website and it came today. I already had the Feather case for my Samsung Focus, so I knew what to expect.

It looks great, but the best thing about it is that it doesn't wiggle or squeak like the Seidio Platinum case. Be warned, however... this is a case for people who don't really want a case, if that makes any sense! This won't protect your phone as well as a fat, ugly TPU case.
[Nexus S Accessories] Vulpix:
Hey, I take offense to that insult on TPU cases! :D They do protect the phone quite well.
[Nexus S Accessories] milkham:
do they usually increase color selection?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GatorsUF:
I have posted this twice before and I am surprised nobody else has had this issue. I will add a screenshot of the popup in a minute.

The issue:

I open an app and randomly while navigating the app, the browser pops up with a small banner ad on the top.

It happens in apps such as appbrain, xda forum, and now sms unread count.

I turned on adsense but that didn't stop it...

Picture in next post.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Meltus:
Those ads are supposed to appear at the top or bottom of the app, why your phone is interpreting them as websites is very odd. Never seen that before.

If your phone is rooted you could try using an Adblocker, that would stop the ads appearing, so hopefully stopping the browser opening.

Hello people

Is it possible to overclock my laptop's CPU?
[Off-topic] I Am Marino:
Way wrong place to ask this. I think.

But yes, depending on brand, etc.

[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
You can OC a laptop, but the thermal cooling won't work well. It's best NOT to do it.
[Off-topic] alex ainsley:
well I've got due core Pentiums, but tell me this... if it's possible to overclock my pc just with some coding, like when your rooting a android phone ?
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Yes, you probably can... doesn't mean you should do it. Did I mention it'll kill your CPU faster than you can say gigahertz?

Just google around for the exact model of your CPU and overclocking.

But you shouldn't though.
[Off-topic] alex ainsley:
Ok I don't want to kill my pc so I wont to it.

But if there's a safe way of doing it like doing it with android phones then let me know.

[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Even what we do with the Androids aren't good. The underclock is there to reduce battery consumption.
[Off-topic] PartTimeLegend:
Overclocking your processor should be done with extreme caution. The excess heat caused can be fatal to the core and anything around it. The best cooling method is always liquid nitrogen.
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
real men overclock to the max .

that said , oc is done in the bios 90% of the time and 95% of the lappys wont even have an oc option in the bios

[Off-topic] Sirklip:
It is possible to overclock any CPU

But the problem with laptop is that usually they run very hot with the stock clock settings,

as soon as you overclock it makes the CPU run faster but Hotter as well and you run the risk of causing permanent damage to your laptop, Best not to do it,

Plus it will greatly reduce battery life
[Off-topic] rag3loop:
Unscrew the bottom of your laptop, scrap the stock heatsink for a corsair watercooler kit, up the FSB bus until the RAM melts....

...profit!
[Off-topic] ephraim87:
Overclockinhg a laptop is tricky as the bios is usually more basic than what comes in a pc. Besides the decreased air space in a laptop means overclocking would be more risky.
[Off-topic] vbetts:
This is extremely extremely situational.

The lower ranged laptops with i3's, pentiums, and celerons are mainly going to suck at overclocking, because since the laptop is cheap, the parts aren't as higher quality as you'll see on an i5 or i7 laptop. These mobile cpus can handle a vcore bump no problem and won't put out too much more heat depending on the overclock and method of overclock, but the bios might not have options for it. There are a few laptops out there that overclock and have hsf parts made for overclocking, but personally I don't see a point.

I can hit around 3.9-4ghz with my Athlon II x3 435, but then I'd have to pump a lot more vcore into it. The problem with this is this machine is my daily machine, maybe if it were for a one time use. :D 3.6ghz per core is good enough for me.
[Off-topic] -=SrgiO=-:
Be careful!

Of course this is possible, but you have to monitor the voltage and temperature increase.

Also I do not recommend for daily use, only at specific times or in any demonstration.

For a laptop is an important ally the refrigerators plates, I have a CoolerMaster 7cm 2 fans http://www.coolermaster-mx.com/product.php?product_id=2867

And of course remove the previous thermal paste and conductive plates and replace them with a professional like the Arctic Cooling MX-3

So your laptop will be more secure, but again, the overclock is for peak times, continued use may damage the system if you have not chilled with some potent method (water or nitro for continuous use)

[G Tablet General] D Wright:
Someone posted that over 10,000 were sold yesterday. I always wondered about that site and how they could make any money, but figure this, if they made $10 a piece on each that is one incredible day for even many of the larger retailers.

I thought this was going to be great for the G tablet community with which it would make Viewsonic take notice and develop more for this product.

But what if many who bought were resellers jumping on a bargain (my bet). Still eventually if they sold it would still be good.

I always thought the Apple fanatics were really out there standing in lines to buy the latest until it was explained that many were buying to resell and sell higher than retail. Still dopes to pay but does explain more.
[G Tablet General] Enectic:
The thing is there's little to be made for any who plan to resell. These retail for $350 to $370 and after ebay, paypal, and shipping fees we're only looking at maybe a $20 to $30 profit. Plus with woot limiting the amount you can buy I really think most of the G-Tablets sold yesterday were to people genuinely interested in the product. Well, at least I was one.

:)
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
I know that our customer support group purchased quite a few of these yesterday :D.

I had been prodding them toward getting these as our mobile platform for a while, was super happy they came up on woot :)

:D
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
I agree that most who got woot deals yesterday were buying for home use and not re-sell. People have been seeing the Gtab, and even through all the exxcitment of the xoom, interest in it was picking up. This just goes to show people are smarter with their money than given credit for and it gives a clear message that we are not willing to pay 6 to 8 hundred dollars for hype and a carrier contract.
[G Tablet General] jsjames:
I bought mine for personal use. I've been on the fence and could not pass up this deal.
[G Tablet General] requiem33:
I honestly had my heart set on the iPad 2 pre release, but then once I saw it didn't have retina and the price was still relatively expensive (for a 32gb 3G), I figured I might as well save my money. Once the woot deal came on, I did some research and stumbled across this community, and how couldn't I buy the product for just $280? I just signed up to this forum this week and I'm already addicted reading up on how everyone is modding their gTab. Thanks in advance to all the mods who will make my experience a pleasant one..
[G Tablet General] nicodek:
Bought mine for personal use as well. Been on the fence for a while over a tablet saw the woot, liked the price and after some research here and elsewhere decided with some fairly simple tweaks this would fit all my needs in a tablet.
[G Tablet General] monocot:
Bought mine for personal use and work. Part of my job is providing support for my company's mobile apps, and it is much more convenient to have my own than dig up where the company hardware is hiding. I also have a toddler and we are going on a 4 hr plane trip next month, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity for an electronic babysitter for the trip at this price. (There may be toddler/mom deathmatches over who gets to use it as both of us are geeks)
[G Tablet General] MFister:
Bought mine for personal use yesterday too.
[G Tablet General] sambo989:
I can't wait

Hi purchased the nook color when it was 200 bucks for ebay. and i love it.

It is used at my restaurant as digital photo album / menu

the face that you can grab it with one hand and do demonstrations with it is awesome.

But it is lacking in some ways.

Purchased the gtab for personal use, front facing camera etc. I dont know how usable it will be, but I am hoping the dual core processor helps things out more.

honestly loading webpages on the NC with dolphin or skyfire was ok. but not great, and it definitely could not unseat my netbook that i also carry around with me wherever i go.

I think 285 bucks delivered for a dual core tablet with these specs and the best user group community on the planet (XDA) which has always helped me with my droid1, fascinate (for a friend) nook color, and now gtab... is a super steal. to borrow the words of another forum post: Lucky mofos.
[G Tablet General] hungarianhc:
So was I! This is going to be my first foray into tablet computing. At such a low price with real hardware, this going to let me get my feet wet, and if I hate it, i'm sure i can sell it at just a slight loss. Hoping I love it though!
[G Tablet General] Talesin_BatBat:
Was in for one as well, though I'd just grabbed a Nook Color (just before that eBay deal); was impressed with how much more usable the larger screen was, and how much it felt like I was trying to work with a postage stamp when I swapped back to my G2.

Then this came up, and couldn't resist long enough for them to sell out.

Actually ended up sucking a few friends in as well..
[G Tablet General] nega:
I had no idea the makers of my TV made a tablet. I jumped on this when I read the specs. Hopefully Woot doesn't take more than a month for this thing to ship out.
[G Tablet General] MrTheCamel:
to good a deal to pass up....needed a new toy to play with
[G Tablet General] ncomes:
I just picked up the NC a few days ago. I never even heard of the gtab until it popped up on woot. I've returned my NC.. the hardware on the gtab for the price can't be beat.
[G Tablet General] grandebob:
Just watch ebay. Yesterday there was one gTab listed with 7 days left current price of like $180. I think there will be lost on there and the price will end up falling on ebay and people wont be able to sell them for much (if any) more then they bought them for.

I plan on keeping mine. Bought it for personal use. Wanted a galaxy tab, but didn't want a contract or to spend 400-500.

I can survive a $280 fight with my wife, not a $500 one.
[G Tablet General] flipd2:
Good deal, bought for personal use also.
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
One closed yesterday around $315 after paypal and ebay fees you'd lose a bit of money on the deal. Personally I bought one for me, just wnated to see ebay pricing in case I didn't like it.
[G Tablet General] arentol:
Given that only about 3% of purchasers purchased 3 at once I doubt that very many were purchased for resale.
[G Tablet General] firemansim:
same with me, you took the words right out of my mouth :)
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
It is very involved to buy more than three deals from woot. You have to have separate accounts with separate payment sources and even then you can only get three per account. Nobody would make enough off the effort.
[G Tablet General] tenet420:
Viewsonic owes the devs on here quite a debt of gratitude ...
[G Tablet General] prana22:
Add me to the list that couldn't pass up this deal. I was saving money for a Xoom but when I saw this on Woot I jumped at it. I had a coworker do the same.

I'm just hoping that Google's BS comments about not releasing honeycomb code because of "user experience" doesn't make it a lot longer before I get honeycomb on it. I don't have any experience with Viewsonic but I'm not holding my breath that they update to Honeycomb update any time soon.
